Matterhorn

Yesterday we left Venice behind and drove through the beautiful lakes region of northern italy. We stopped for lunch by the shores of this beautiful lake. Then we crossed into Switzerland and drove around winding twisting roads with veiws that were out of this world. We arrived in the town of tasch where we took the train up into the alps to the town of Zermatt. We stayed in this quaint little town of chalets and had a traditional swiss fondue supper. This morning we took the cog railway up to over 10,000 feet to an amazing veiw of the matterhorn. It was in the 30's but with no real wind so it wasn't bad. Alex does a great job with souveniers he waits till he sees something that means alot and then buys so he is now a proud owner of a special swiss watch and a swiss army knife called the "supertinker". Isn't that just perfect for him. Soon we will be heading off to the train to return to our bus. We spend tonight in Lake Geneva in Luseanne and tomorrow thanks to the" tgv" we will be in Paris.
